Well, enjoy your 'nebbish'.
Nothing will change until conservative voters make the important things nonnegotiable.
And nothing could be more important than the God-given, unalienable right to life.
After all, without life, liberty means nothing.
He supports the repeal of the estate tax, along with all other forms of income taxation.
Gilchrist no longer poses a threat to installing Young, the Dem. His campaign ran off the rails. He didn't spend money on absentee voters, and made some comments about globalism that put him rather into the kook category for the 48th district. He had a disasterous interview with Hugh Hewitt that was sprayed across the blogs.
Become a curdmudgeon. That is my ticket.
I guess he changed his mind then. He is on record saying the opposite, but that was before in took on the very well to do 48th district. Cunningham district is just down the road. There are fewer mega estates down there, and a lot more blue collar whites worried about job competition by hard working illegals.
John and Ken have been ripping Campbell a new one the last couple of days.
It seems that Johnny backed out of Monday's debate on their show with Jim. Made up all sorts of lame excuses.
They were pretty easy on him early on, but now they're comparing him with David Dreier.
Looks like they finally have his number! :-)
You might be surprised how the alarm at the illegal invasion runs across socio-economic lines.
But, you and I have had this conversation before.
We need to send Campbell, and the GOP leadership, a message. Vote Gilchrist, and get everyone you know to vote Gilchrist. Campbell's record is bad enough to warrant not only a message, but punishment. We won't lose this seat to the Rats, but even if we do, it's a price worth paying and would serve as a wake-up call to the "leadership" and other GOP candidates well in advance of the dangerous '06 elections.
Gilchrist is running as an American Independent only because he couldn't have won the GOP nomination. He is a Republican, and recognizes that the solution to this crisis will from from the GOP, if anywhere. He told me so,
and I trust him.
I'm sure you're right. The affluent don't have to live with this problem. It's also convenient for them in some ways. It's the regular folks who have to live with it.
I'm with the regular folks.
We shall see next Tuesday. I didn't predict that well the primary. Maybe I will blow it again! Keep hope alive.
Why is it that, whenever there is some unelectable wingnut running that beats one note again and again, the guy who's got an actual conservative record is suddenly 'masquerading' while the guy with NO political record beyond public statements is assumed to be 100% genuine?
Oh, and I'd also like to mention, that it is never true that the Dem isn't a factor, in any race. There isn't a district in the country that is reliably over 66% R, especially in terms of Congressional races.
And if, among other things that people had mentioned, Gilcrest was really interested in making a difference, he would have run as a Republican and tried to win the primary, which would have three effects: A. Prove he's not a wingnut out for himself, B. Even if he lost, force Republicans to take the immigration issue into account, C. Actually give him a realistic path toward winning.
Jim Gilchrist is one of the few men left in this country who knows how to take action, not just talk.
He volunteered for the Marines and went to Vietnam, where he was seriously wounded. Purple Heart recipient. Took a sniper bullet to his arm and face.
His Minuteman Project has done more to focus public attention on the border problem than anything else.
I posted Campbell's open borders record above. It is indisputable.
He's talking a good game now, sort of, but his record doesn't back it up.
If you want to talk about the difference between the two men's records, no problem...
I find it interesting that you and 'johnmecainrino' misspell the exact same words the exact same way.
You channeling him?
Sometimes I wonder if we don't have an actual total of one open borders advocate on FR....one who posts under multiple nics.
They just copied and pasted my initial typo. Chill out. What are my other nics by the way. :)
ping
Your other nics?
Hmmm...
'FRResidentLiberal'??
'GOPLeftwing'??
'WatchOutImALawyer'??
;-)
LOL. I will have to look those posters up.
"There are fewer mega estates down there, and a lot more blue collar whites worried about job competition by hard working illegals."
I think the tide will turn, and in some places it already has, when legal-Hispanics and African Americans realize that they are truly being hurt by illegal immigration in the job market, maybe even more so than Whites.
